Count de Mauny-Talvande

I am most interested in finding out further details about Count de Mauny-Talvande who built his house on the rocky island at Weligama Beach, South West Sri Lanka. I believe he was an author and furniture maker..can anyone provide me with more information, especially if there is anything which he wrote that ihas been published. Are there references to him in any of the historical writings?Cindy Wilkinsonwilkens@bigpond.com.au
